Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 621 - 409: Defeat, A Casual Act (Part 2)

Wang Zhifan originally planned to continue his journey at this moment, as he had no interest in that black spear. However, when his gaze swept over the "flesh and blood" on the distant ground that no one cared about, his heart couldn’t help but stir, and he chose to stop.

"He’s become like this and hasn’t actually cooled down completely. Should I say his life is tenacious, or that his fate isn’t meant to end? Oh well, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and it’s just a trivial matter that won’t take much time."

This thought occurred to Wang Zhifan, as he quickly walked toward the "remains" lying in the pool of blood on the ground.

As he walked, he took out a peculiar box from his personal space. It was an extraordinary item, a Mage’s Power Box.

"Healing Skill... This magic level is quite high... put it into the spell slots..."

After a quick adjustment, he stored the box back into his personal space, then walked to the side of the bloody but not completely cold "corpse" and extended his hand.

A soft, light green glow appeared in Wang Zhifan’s hand, enveloping the presence beside him, causing a mysterious power not belonging to this world to begin swiftly operating.

"It seems to have no effect? No, his life aura is stronger now... then let’s do it a few more times."

After casting the first spell, Wang Zhifan didn’t see much recovery in the target’s vitality, but he didn’t intend to give up. After all, the first spell cast was without any cost, and with his mental strength, casting the Healing Skill ten more times wouldn’t be a problem.

Thus, when those nearby natives who hadn’t had time to leave noticed Wang Zhifan’s strange actions, they all came closer to observe.

And when they saw the "corpse" on the ground improving with each of Wang Zhifan’s spells, and finally even resurrecting on the spot to sit up, they couldn’t help but exclaim repeatedly.

"Immortal Master! This esteemed person is definitely an Immortal Master!"

"He has the aura of the Dao Realm! He must be a celestial being from the Dao Realm who has attained enlightenment!"

"It’s over! The Immortal Master has brought this person back to life! There’s no point in fighting for it anymore!"

"You fool! Quickly return the spear! Otherwise, you’ll be offending an Innate expert brought back to life!"

...

To Wang Zhifan’s surprise, he hadn’t said a word, yet the onlookers around him bestowed upon him the title of Immortal Master. Even more unexpectedly, those people who had been fighting fiercely over the weapons of the Innate Realm Martial Artist ended up rushing to return the weapons, giving them back to the ordinary young man who had just sat up.

The ordinary-looking young man seemed slightly shocked, but his expression soon became resolute again. He reached down to pick up the black spear returned by others and used it to support himself as he stood.

"Your lifesaving grace! He Kuang will never forget it!"

Discovering that his body had miraculously recovered, the young man set down his weapon and bowed deeply to Wang Zhifan in gratitude.

"No need for that, Mr. He, it was just a casual act on my part. Don’t worry about it,"

Wang Zhifan replied with a smile, his gaze focused on the Innate Realm native before him.

"However, there are some things I’d like to ask you. Let’s find a more secluded place to talk."

Switching topics, Wang Zhifan led the man known as He Kuang, the Saint of Spear Path, toward a distant, secluded area. The surrounding crowd, seeing this, sensibly made way for them.

"So this Innate Realm Martial Artist is named He Kuang. Although he lost the battle today, the title of Saint of Spear Path will surely be remembered!"

"Look at him, so young and fortunate to encounter an Immortal Master and rise from the dead. His future achievements will be limitless!"

"It’s hard to say. The path of martial arts is not like the three great Dao paths. Achieving the Innate realm through martial arts alone is a rare talent, and striving further is a challenge beyond words..."

...

The people were enthusiastically discussing whether He Kuang, having survived this calamity, had a promising future or whether his path wouldn’t be smooth. The martial path is not widely recognized as a righteous path, and making breakthroughs is exceedingly difficult.

As for Wang Zhifan, they had already assumed he was an Immortal Master, without considering other possibilities.

In the same wilderness, Wang Zhifan brought He Kuang to a secluded place and began to inquire about the information he needed.

Originally, he hadn’t planned for this. He just thought of casually saving someone and then leaving. However, he found that the Healing Skill was surprisingly effective—perhaps due to the unique physique of the people in this world or the extraordinary body of an Innate Realm expert. This led him to explore further, thinking that an Innate Realm expert, after all, was relatively rare and might know things that ordinary natives wouldn’t.

"The Demon Realm? Honored benefactor, I have never been to the Demon Realm in my life and know little about it... However, I did slay dozens of demons from the Demon Realm two months ago..."

"Oh? Please tell me more!"

...

As the two talked, Wang Zhifan realized that his casual act had brought unexpected gains—he learned about the movements of the Calamity Realm demons from He Kuang!

According to He Kuang, something strange had been happening lately in the Calamity Realm. Demonic presence had been appearing sporadically in remote areas. The major powers, having received this intelligence, grew alert and assembled some experts for investigation and handling, among whom was He Kuang, who had accomplished martial cultivation and ventured out for experience.

According to He Kuang’s observations, they did indeed find demons near the intelligence sites, but their number was less than a hundred, and they were all significantly below the level of a Demon General, making their elimination very easy for them.

However, why these weak demons appeared in the Calamity Realm remained a mystery. With the Realm Protection Array created by the three Saints in place, the Demon Realm supposedly couldn’t break into the Calamity Realm. Even if the array was somehow breached, the Demon Venerable or even Demon Sovereign would have likely led a massive invasion, rather than sending such few, weak soldiers.

Thus, those aware of the situation in the Calamity Realm had no leads. He Kuang left after completing that investigation mission and didn’t know if any clearer results emerged afterward. Given the current calm in the Calamity Realm, it likely wasn’t a major issue and might have already been resolved.

"Mr. He, please tell me the places you know of where the demons appeared! Also, what kinds of demons did you encounter?"

Wang Zhifan, hearing this, realized he had indeed discovered signs of a Demon Realm invasion and further pursued detailed intelligence.

He Kuang, unaware of why his lifesaving benefactor cared so much about this matter, nevertheless shared everything since it wasn’t highly classified information.

Wang Zhifan soon learned that the locations where the demons appeared in the Calamity Realm were very scattered, and the area He Kuang visited was just one of them, near the Ancient Cyan Sea. They didn’t find any domain anomalies there, and reports from other places indicated similar findings.

As for the demons, they were entirely different from human beings of the Human Realm. While some resembled humans, with noses, mouths, eyes, and limbs, others had hardly any human likeness. However, no matter the form, demons were easily distinguishable from humans, so there was no concern of confusion.

He Kuang encountered three types of demons at the Ancient Cyan Sea.

One type was called the "Eight-armed Demon," with a ghostly head, towering at ten feet, completely black, with two legs and eight arms covered in spiky armor. It was born much stronger than humans but was no match for human cultivators.

Another type was the "Red-eyed Demon," more humanoid but less robust than the Eight-armed Demons, with blue face, fangs, and blood-red eyes, possessing the ability to incite murderous intent in adversaries. However, this trick was ineffective against resolute cultivators.

The last type was known as the "Bald Bone Demon," resembling a shriveled skeleton and child-sized. With a highly resilient body, it had fast attacks and mobility, arguably the most troublesome among the three types of demons.
